Corporate Support
Rowcroft Hospice relies on the support of local businesses to raise the funds necessary to provide its vital services throughout South Devon.
We are proud to have built up such a good relationship with our corporate supporters. Our ethos is to find something that benefits both the company and Rowcroft. We work with companies in a number of ways depending on what resources they have to hand and how they choose to support us. We are not looking for the ‘quick buck’ but for a long-lasting and enjoyable partnership.
We are proud to be working in partnership with the companies below and so grateful for all their hard work and support.
Bays Brewery got into the spirit of our Go Yellow campaign by kindly creating a Yellow Beer which is on sale in a number of pubs across Torbay. 10p for every pint sold will be donated to the hospice. Pete Salmon, co-director of Bays, said: "The main thing is that by having our beer in these pubs we hope to raise awareness with punters of Rowcroft's Go Yellow campaign."
We are delighted that Fermoy’s garden centre, Ipplepen, have chosen Rowcroft to be their Charity of the Year. The partnership was launched with Fermoy’s Executive Director, Alan Murdoch taking the lead with his very own Go Yellow challenge. We look forward to working closing with Fermoy’s throughout the year.
Rowcroft will also be working closely with Newton Abbot and Paignton based Gap Recruitment following their decision to make Rowcroft their chosen charity. Gareth Brocklehurst, Director at Gap said: "Rowcroft is a wonderful local charity and one that we can all relate to. Choosing them as our Charity of the Year was an easy decision to make and we look forward to focusing our fundraising efforts throughout the year. Hannah at Rowcroft has given us lots of ideas to get us started and has even provided opportunities for volunteering and team building."
The Grand Hotel have been incredibly thoughtful about the ways in which they and Rowcroft can work together. We have put together a broad range of activity throughout the year to make the most of the Charity of the Year partnership. From helping to raise awareness for Go Yellow by lighting up the hotel with Yellow lights to offering Rowcroft facilities free of charge to help with cost saving, hosting fundraising events and putting loose change envelopes in the hotel rooms.
Staff at Totnes and Paignton Morrisons have been fundraising throughout the year to raise an incredible combined total of over £2600! The Charity of the Year partnership has now closed but their generosity will stay with Rowcroft.
The makers of the sparkling juice drink have pledged support to Rowcroft by signing up to be event sponsor for Rowcroft’s hugely popular night walk event, The Sleep Walk. The cost of putting on an event of this scale are not insignificant but by working with companies like Shloer we are able to keep costs to a minimum.
Have also come on board to be Sleep Walk sponsors, Steve Bulman, managing partner from WBW said: "We’re extremely proud to be supporting such a valued local charity, and it’s a pleasure to be involved in such a high profile event. A group of 15 of our ladies have signed up for the event and a number of us from WBW intend to volunteer on the night too. We’re looking forward to being part of something very special."
A huge thank you to all the companies who support Rowcroft Hospice, without your support we would not be able to continue to provide our services.
